Senior sources in the Trump Transition told ABC News that Ivanka Trump and her children were heading to Hawaii for their vacation when the passenger shouted at them. Secret Service assigned to Ms. Trump did not engage the unruly passenger - it was all handled by JetBlue staff. Sources said Trump and her children are fine.

JetBlue issued a statement saying, "The decision to remove a customer from a flight is not taken lightly. If the crew determines that a customer is causing conflict on the aircraft, the customer will be asked to deplane, especially if the crew feels the situation runs the risk of escalation during flight. In this instance, our team worked to re-accommodate the party on the next available flight."

Donald Trump was not with Ivanka on the flight. The president-elect is at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
